Traveling with Anxiety: My Top 7 Tips

The first time I opened up about my struggle with anxiety I got an amazing response - better than I had ever expected. It made me realise that I'm definitely not the only one and that reading or talking about it helps a lot. I recently went on a trip alone, which if you had told me I would do about 2 months ago, I wouldn't have believed you. I've mentioned that I like traveling and I wanna see and experience new things, but the problem is learning how to deal with unfamiliar situations. I had come to a point in my life where I was so tired of staying in the same place all the time and I just felt stuck. I thought to myself "I just can't live like this anymore" and booked an airplane ticket online. What you should know about me is I like making impulse decisions. So, I booked my ticket and...

Anxiety Update

Последно писах за това миналата година и тогава целта ми беше да запозная хората с този проблем и да покажа на други, страдащи от това, че не са единствени. За мой ужас, публикацията стана една от най-четените ми, но получих изключително позитивни отзиви и съобщения от познати и непознати, които са се чувствали (или все още се чувстват) така. Сега отново повдигам темата, защото имам нуждата да си събера мислите, а като ги опиша, това ще стане най-добре. Както бях споменала, целият този проблем (панически атаки, постоянно напрежение) започна през 2011. В началото беше изключително трудно да водя нормален живот, всяко едно нещо представляваше предизвикателство. От тогава нататък състоянието ми само се е подобрявало, като няма да опиша колко усилия ми е коствало това. Тези, които са се сблъсквали...

No Inspiration

Do you ever get into one of those moods? I just have no inspiration to write posts, but when I see my visitors dropping down, I panick and I need to post something. I wasn't planning on posting this outfit, because the photos turned out so horrendous and no amount of editing made them better, but... pressure. I cut the jeans myself and sewed the spikes on the jacket myself, so I feel very designer haha. And the photos were taken before I dyed my hair, it's lighter now. I think I just need some rest and I'll start making better posts soon. ~ Били ли сте в такова настроение? Просто нямам никакво вдъхновение да пиша, но когато виждам как посещенията ми намаляват, се панирам и изпитвам нужда да публикувам нещо. Не планирах да споделям този аутфит, защото снимките излязоха толкова...

Standfor: Shoes With a Cause

I'm very excited to present to you Standfor - shoes with a social message. Their first campaign is against smoking. I've collected my favourites amongst the shoes, but you can visit their website and see some more models. I don't want to, in any way, attack smokers. However, it's a fact that smoking is extremely harmful not only to you, but to those around you. I'm a non-smoker myself and I find it offensive when the people around me smoke in cafes, restaurants and even when we're just hanging out. I've prepared some facts about the danger of smoking: 1. Cigarette smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, 69 of which are known to cause cancer. Smoking is directly responsible for approximately 90 percent of lung cancer deaths and approximately 80-90 percent of COPD (emphysema...

A Drawing Of Me

I thought I would include the sketch too, because it's so amazing. I'm really grateful for all of the hard work Iqra has put into this and it turned out so pretty, I'm in love with it!

I Hate Cold Rainy Days

She loves biting and dragging any piece of clothing she can get her teeth on. My fingers too, which can get quite painful. Here I am in my natural state - pajamas, no make-up and air dried hair, at 4pm. Did I mention that I hate rainy weather? This is what I have been doing all day - laying in bed, listening to Ella Henderson's album, thinking of posts to make, with the occasional trips to the fridge and to see Aria. I used to love doing nothing all day, but it makes me think of bad times now and I try to be productive every day. The weather has been insane lately though, there has even been snow all around the country (in October, I know) and I've been struggling. I'm hoping for some sun soon, so I can go out and wear clothes I actually like ha...

Taking Ari To The Vet

It was time for Aria's second visit at the veterinary clinic today. She was so calm in the car and while I was carrying her. When we got there we found out that she had grown, which is natural, but it seems too quick to me. Next week they'll start vaccinating her and after that we'll finally be able to take her out for walk...

A New Month, A New Me

October has come and I decided it's high time I started making posts again. I will start taking this blog more seriously again and do what I enjoy. My life has changed so much in the last month, it's incredibly surreal. I started university, which I was really nervous about, but it turned out better than I expected. I already met a lot of cool people, which I'm grateful for. My relationship ended and at first I thought it would take me forever to get back on my feet, but after thinking about it I realised the way it turned out was actually for the better and I'm mentally at a much better place now. It's always sad when the person you thought you would spend the rest of your life with becomes a stranger, but when that person hurts you, you lose your trust in them and eventually your respect...

Why I've been inactive / Life update

I don't know if I should apologise for the lack of posts recently, because I'm not sure anyone reads my blog anyway. The reason I haven't been writing is that I have been very busy, because I started my first year at UNI as well as driving lessons. It's hard enough finding the balance between those two and I've been coming home in the evenings, so naturally, all I've been wanting to do is relax, eat and sleep. It's been exhausting, but it's somehow had a positive effect on my anxiety. However, whenever I've had more free time, like right now, I've found myself overwhelmed and worried, looking for something productive to do and a way to improve. I have managed to lose the joy in watching shows and eating pizza in bed, which was my favourite thing to do before. Another reason why I haven't...

I felt like answering questions

I know no one asked me, but that's life. I'm in one of those moods when you just wanna do something, no matter what, so you can just feel like you've accomplished something in life. Not sure if you know what I mean, but just bear with me until I get some inspiration for good blog posts. 1.What are you looking forward to in the next week? Getting the text book I'll be teaching with and my baby cousin's christening.2.Could you go the rest of your life without smoking a cigarette?Yes.3.Last three things you had to drink?Arizona Green Tea, water and Nutella milkshake.4.Honestly, has anyone seen you in your underwear in the past 3 months?I do walk around in my underwear at home all the time. I know that's not the point of the question.5.Do you miss anyone?I do.6.Who did you last see...

An Evening On The Town

I wore a H&M top from Beyonce's collection from last year and a H&M maxi skirt. I got the top in XS, but it's a bit too small for me now for obvious reasons haha :) My brother showing off his football skills. The fountains next to the town hall are a sight to visit at night. This is what happens when I get cravings. I had a late dinner and I can't wait to sleep right no...

Strawberry Blonde

Here are some more photos of my new hair colour. I really love it, even though the hue wasn't what I was going for. P.S. It's currently half past 10 in the morning and I'm going to the dentist in an hour, so wish me luc...

A Day at the Beach

This year the weather hasn't been so great around here, but one of the perks of living by the sea is that you can go to the beach whenever you want to, so I go when I'm in the mood and it's sunny. My skin is really pale and I have to put on a lot of sunscreen and stay more in the shade, but that won't stop me. I have to admit it was a bit hard to build up the confidence to make this post, because I'm not very fond of my body, but I'm getting there. Swimsuit: H&...

My Week In Pictures

This is my week in photos. I had some highs and lows, but mostly it was nice and relaxing. I'm not aspiring to be a photographer, nor will I ever be. I don't have a nice camera. I use one I bought 6 years ago - Samsung L100. I increase the quality of the photos a lot by editing them and that's it. I hope you had a good week to...
